I had a post on a similar topic three years ago – Websites for Finding Design and Programming Jobs. Some of the sites in that post were for regular full-time jobs, but at least half of the sites included freelance jobs. Of course, there are a couple of sites that are on both lists.

The sites from the Business Insider story are:

Upwork (formerly oDesk, which was on the earlier list)

Toptal

Elance (also on the 2012 list)

Freelancer

Craigslist

Guru (also on the 2012 list)

99designs

Peopleperhour (also on the 2012 list)

Freelance Writing Gigs

Demand Media

College Recruiter

GetACoder (also on the 2012 list)

iFreelance

Project4hire

SimplyHired

And just like in my 2012 post, I’m not linking to the sites that Business Insider compiled. Instead, I encourage you to check out the Business Insider post for yourself to get capsule reviews of the sites, as well as direct links.
